Energy efficiencyThe light bulbs burn very cool, while incandescent bulbs emit 98 per cent of their energy as heat! Much more bang for the buck

Long lifeThese lights can last from 50,000 to 100,000 hours. Incandescent light bulbs typically last around 1,000 hours and fluorescents are good for roughly 10,000 hours

Rugged durabilityLED lights have no fragile filament to contend with, and no fragile tube. They are resistant to heat, cold, and shock

Lumens per wattWhile manufacturers are still finding new ways to increase this ratio, Inc. has been able to produce an LED bulb that generates 131 lumens / watt. This is research, though. Today′s available LEDs are the same as compact florescent bulbs, averaging around 55. Incandescent bulbs wander sadly in at about 15
